Hindus should offer gratitude at the feet of Almighty for this success !

Hindu Existence News Bureau | Mumbai | 31 January 2014:: Though the main stream media rejected this story (!), the reality is that the proposed and under construction ‘largest slaughter house in Asia’ at Morba, Raigad, Maharashtra is now under Bulldozers being used by the Dist. authority for its complete demolition.

The illegal slaughter house had been developing by the hands of some Kokoni Islamists in more that 75 acres of sprawling cultivation land in a very mysterious way though there was no such permission for the same.

Aggrieved animal lovers, cow worshipers and the environmental activists joined hand under the united Hindu agitation banner led by Senior Hindu saints of the society and none other than Pujya Jain Muni Vinamrasagarji. On 2oth January, some 30000 Hindus and animal lovers came to street to protest over the illegal construction of the slaughter house and the Jain Muni cautioned the Govt to remove it immediately, unless he would not leave Raigad. The Muni was continuing his sitting ‘Dharna’ near Morba, Raigad. Thousand of supporters gradually were getting joined in that movement. Various orgnisations like Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, Ahimsa Manch, Hinsa Virodhi Manch, local VHP etc. were put together their hands to garner a public support for the removal of the illegal slaughter house at Morba.

Seeing the staunch and die-hard stand of the Hindu-Jain-Social activists forums, on 29th January the district authority started bulldozing of the illegal constructions of the impugned Morba Slaughter House.

It is a great victory for the nationalist Hindus and the worst defeat of the anti-national elements in the Muslims. Illegal Morba Slaughter House is no more. Lakhs of cow live is saved now.

Save Cow activists are now planning to remove all illegal slaughter houses in Maharashtra, the land of Chatrapati Shivaji, who was the champion Cow protector. Cow slaughter was completely banned in Hindu Padpadshahi (ruling) of Chatrapati. Then how cow slaughter can be permitted in the land od samarth Guru Ramdas and Chatrapati Shivaji?

HJS Media and Sanatan Prbaht published the entire coverage as below:

Why the Government could not notice this illegal slaughter-house earlier ?

Administration wakes up only after people stage agitations; then why should we waste money on maintaining such administration ?

Morba (Mangaon, Dist. Raigad) : Various pro-Hindu organizations had taken out a huge protest march on District Collector’s office on 20th January against illegal slaughter-house. It is a success of unity that the District Administration has started demolition of this illegal slaughter-house from 29th January under police protection. JCB (Bulldozer) machines are also used here for the purpose. (Hindus united strength under leadership of Saints and God’s grace were the reasons that Government had to take action against illegal slaughter house at Morba. Hindus should keep an ideal of united strength of Hindus before them and make a resolve to fight against every attack on Dharma and nation with such active unity ! – Editor, Dainik Sanatan Prabhat)

Construction of slaughter-house was going on at Morba for the past one year on 68 acres of land. A huge protest march was taken out on 20th January considering its adverse effects. More than 25,000 Hindus united to join the march under leadership of different pro-Hindu organizations including Shiv Sena.

Drive against slaughter-houses at Dharashiv, New Mumbai, Meera – Bhyandar and Bhiwandi to be undertaken after Morba ! – Jain-Muni Pujya Vinamrasagarji

Jain – Muni Pu. Vinamrasagarji had given a warning of not leaving Raigad till demolition of illegal slaughter-house started. Now, the demolition has started. It is condemnable to build a slaughter-house on the holy land ofChhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. There is a conspiracy to construct biggest slaughter-house at Dharashiv (Usmanabad) on 150 acres of land. Even at New Mumbai, Meera- Bhyandar and Bhiwandi, there are plans to spoil environment and people’s health through slaughter-houses. Agitation will be staged against all of them, informed Pu. Vinamrasagarji on this occasion. (One Jain-Muni is fighting for protection of cows and successfully undertaking his mission. He wants to fight against such anti-Dharma happenings which Hindus need to learn. Why so many Saints – Mahants and powerful pro-Hindu organizations cannot achieve what one Jain – Muni can do ? – Editor, Dainik Sanatan Prabhat) Every devout Hindu should take part in this agitation with his body, mind and wealth so as to perform his duty towards Dharma, was the appeal made by Shri. Rakesh Jain, representing Jain community.

Success of Hindu unity ! – Shri. Vinod Ghosalkar

Everyone had opposed the slaughter-house at Morba right from the beginning; but the Government paid no attention. Hindus, however, united to stage a strong agitation with clenched fists that has resulted in initiation of action !

Hindu Temple destroyed in Sri Lanka in 1983 and onwards.

During the state sponsored ethnic cleansing /riots against the Hindu Tamils in Sri Lanka, hundreds of Hindu Temples were attacked/destroyed/damaged. A short list of Hindu Temples attacked or destroyed in 1983 by state sponsored terrorism incited by Sinhala Government.

It is hard to believe that cabinet ministers in Sri Lanka do not know what goes on in the country they govern. They get information from briefings, internal memos and all sorts of other inside sources. In addition they also have access to the numerous, public and private, reports by outsiders. For example, at the March 1998 UNCHR hearing in Geneva, Joaquin Mbomio of North-South XXI, while condemning the attack on the Dalada Maligawa, stated, “some 1,800 Hindu temples have been destroyed by Sri Lanka’s military.”

The ministers might not know the exact number of temples destroyed by their army, but surely must be aware that the number runs in the hundreds…. (Ref : Taliban and the Sinhala Buddhists).

Environment scientist – Ganga activist Swami Gyan Swaroop Sanand (Prof G D Agrawal) today broke his fast after the government promised to convene the meeting of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh-led National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA) next month. Agrawal, who was on a fast-unto-death since March 8 to press for cleaning of Ganga, decided to take water and liquid food after he was informed about the government’s decision to convene the meeting of NGRBA on April 17 by Union ministers Sriprakash Jaiswal and V Narayanasamy. “I will keep taking liquid but will not consume any solid food till any concrete work happens for cleaning of Ganga river,” the 80-year-old activist told reporters here at AIIMS where he was admitted two days ago in a critical condition. Demanding that the issue of Ganga should be put in the “priority list” of government, Agrawal said, “I am not in condition to wait too long. I would be happy if it happens before the Prayag Kumbh scheduled to take place in January, 2013.”Attacking the government’s slow approach in preserving the river, he said, “All river can not be placed in the same category with Ganga. Scientific studies have proven that Ganga water has several qualities. But government’s attitude can be ascertained as one minister increases the (rail) fare and the other reduces it.” The biggest problem faced by Ganga is that 90 per cent of its “blood” (water) is sucked by dams and other illegal activities taking place at its banks, Agrawal, who is also known as Swami Gyanswaroop Sanand, said. Stating that the Prime Minister has taken a note of the Sanand’s fast, Jaiswal said, “A consensus emerged that the next meeting of NGRBA will take place in New Delhi on April 17 and a delegation of Ganga Seva Abhiyanam will be invited as special invitee there.”The agenda proposed by Ganga Seva Abhiyanam will be discussed in the NGRBA meeting and it shall be placed for discussion on priority, the minister said.

A curious mix of green and saffron.

Dinesh C. Sharma | New Delhi, March 22, 2012 | India Today.

Swami Sananda praying with folded arms to Ganga in Varanasi last week, before he was brought to Delhi to break his fast.

It may sound a bit strange but that’s what is happening in India of the twenty first century. The green politics is getting a dose of saffron or you may say saffron politics is acquiring a green hue. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) – the fountainhead of all Hindu politics in the country – passed a resolution at its Pratinidhi Sabha in Nagpur last week, criticising the draft National Water Policy 2012 on key ecological and economic grounds.

The arguments put forth in the resolution would gladden the hearts of any environmentalist, but for the excessive focus on maintaining the sacredness of ‘rivers like Ganga and Yamuna’ by cleaning them up and the need to revive the ancient Saraswati. At the same time, it is ironical to see that holy men and women have had to fight the now-ousted BJP government in Uttarakhand to retain the sacredness of the very same Ganga and its tributaries.

One of them, Swami Nigamanand, even had to give his life up fighting against illegal mining in the Ganga riverbed allegedly by a company owned by a RSS member.

Another swami, Gyanswarup Sanand, a former professor at IIT Kanpur, is still on hunger strike fighting for stopping work on all hydroelectric projects in Himalayan river valleys. He had to be forcibly shifted from Varanasi to Delhi this week.

A closely linked issue, which has cropped up once again thanks to a recent judgment of the Supreme Court, is the interlinking of rivers. It was a pet project of the BJP-led NDA government in early 2002 and was wholeheartedly supported by the saffron brigade.

Swami Nigamanand gave his life up fighting illegal mining.

The interlinking was seen as a nationalist project. The ecological fallout of constructing a series of dams across the country to interlink rivers was conveniently overlooked. Hopefully, at least now the saffron parties and their wings will now be able to appreciate green side of this grandiose plan which was vocally supported by President APJ Abdul Kalam then.

One can have no quarrel with anyone taking up any environmental issue, be it river pollution, impact of hydroelectric dams or the need for water conservation. But support to green causes should not be selective and blinkered.

That’s what bothers mainstream environmentalists. If RSS is against market-based mechanism for water pricing, as it professes in its latest resolution, why are states run by its political wing – the BJP – pursuing this very approach most aggressively?

The Congress stand too seems to be ambivalent when it comes to the Ganga. In response to the fast of Swami Gyanswarup two years back, the central government stopped work on a major hydroelectric project in the Alaknanda valley citing the need to preserve holiness of the Ganga. Yet, the same government continues to give green clearances in other river valleys in the state and constantly ignores pollution in the river flowing in the plains.

Is the river less sacred in the plains or is the reverence shown by the government limited to just one state? Green and saffron can certainly co-exist but let the green override all narrow political concerns.

Another Ganga devotee begins fast unto death in Varanasi.

Varanasi | Mar 23, 2012 | Star News: On the 15th day of his fast-unto-death for the Ganga, Swami Gyan Swarup Sanand (noted environmentalist Prof GD Agrawal) ended his fast in New Delhi after he received a written agreement from the Government of India on Friday. He, however, made it clear that he had not ended his ‘tapasya’ (austerity) and would take only liquid food till the promises were fulfilled.

In the meantime, in continuation with the ‘Ganga Tapasya’, another Ganga devotee in Varanasi, Ganga Premi Bhikshu, began a fast unto death sans water at Kedhar Ghat on Friday.

[Rajan Zed | USA | 12-03-12] United States of America (USA) is the world’s second-leading destination for Hindu migrants, after India; according to a new study by The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

The report, titled “The Religious Affiliation of International Migrants”, points out that Hindu migrants come mostly from India and Bangladesh and a much smaller numbers have come from the Pacific region known as Oceania (particularly Fiji) and the Caribbean (particularly Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana). USA has an estimated 1.3 million first-generation (foreign-born) Hindu immigrants, most of whom have arrived in recent decades.

Last year Channel 4 broadcast Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields, a critically-acclaimed and RTS Award winning forensic investigation into the events of the last few weeks of the decades-long war between the government of Sri Lanka and the rebel forces of the Tamil Tigers (LTTE), presented by Jon Snow. It featured devastating video evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity captured on mobile phones by both victims and perpetrators – some of the most horrific footage Channel 4 has ever broadcast.

This footage featured atrocities committed on both sides but its most disturbing finding was of a series of war crimes perpetrated by victorious Sri Lankan government forces including evidence of sexual assaults on female fighters, the execution of bound prisoners and the shelling of civilians in what were supposed to be safe ‘No Fire Zones’.

BJP, Yuva Morcha, Hindu Aikya Vedi and Shiv Sena activists jointly staged a protest march to the Fort and Thampanoor Police Stations which registered cases against 11,000 women who offered Pongala during the Attukal Pongala Festival.

The cases were registered following the Kerala High Court verdict banning roadside meetings. Tension prevailed in the police station area following the protest march by a large number of agitators as police used mild force to disperse them, police sources said.

In the midst of the raging controversy over alleged financial support by foreign-funded NGOs to the anti-nuclear protests in Kudankulam, a recent Home Ministry report shows that such voluntary organisations are gaining massive funding from abroad for their activities in tribal-dominated States and North East.

According to the Home Ministry’s annual report of foreign contributions, approved by Union Home Secretary RK Singh on January 2012, as many as 2,325 NGOs are registered in the sensitive tribal-dominated States like Odisha, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. These NGOs received around Rs600 crore during 2009-2010.

As the country celebrates Women’s Day on Thursday, data on parliaments across the world reveal that India, the largest democracy, lags much behind other countries including its neighbours such as Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal when it comes to women’s participation in politics.

With only 11% of representation of women in Lok Sabha and 10.7% in Rajya Sabha, India ranks 105th in the world, according to the latest comparative data released by the IPU.

While India shares the 105th position with West African country Cote d’Ivoire, it is ranked 85 places below Nepal and 53 places behind Pakistan. Even China at 60th spot and Bangladesh at 65 are well above India, according to the IPU data based on December 31, 2011.

In an alarming trend, the Naxals have now entered into farming of poppy in an organised manner to substantially fund their subversive activities.

Poppy produce can subsequently be used for deriving contraband, the proceeds from which will provide a dangerous financial boost to the rebels.

Worryingly, the strategy is also bringing the red rebels in closer liaison with Northeastern insurgents.

Intelligence inputs suggest Naxals have forayed into the upper reaches of Assam and have entered into tactical alliance with the insurgent groups from the North-East. The Naxals can exchange the revenues from poppy produce to procure firearms from the ultras of the North-East.

The Naxals have already been using weapons and communication sets of Chinese make.

In protest of series destruction of Hindu temples in Hathazari and Nandirhat, Chittagong, Bangladesh on 9th and 10th Februaray last and the unbearable situation of persecution of the BD minorities there, the ‘Oikya Parishad ‘and the ‘Dharmish Ashwan’ of Sweden vehemently condemned the provocations and attacks of various Islamist groups upon minorities in BD and appealed to the good conscience to stop such nefarious activities.Along with some social groups and political members, the united forum raised their voice in favor of the persecuted minority Hindu, Buddhist and other minorities in the venue of 17 Hudingvegan, Norsnorg on 25th Feb, 1 pm.

The speakers condemned the rape and abduction of Hindu women, attack on Hindu temple and culture and fraudulent beef feeding to the Hindu students without their notice etc.

Out of a rift between two anti social groups headed by the Muslims, the offenders attacked on Kali Temple at Kanchanpur Union at Basail Upazila in Tangail District on 1st March night.

Two groups fought each other for a disputed land. As the matter was not settled the majority people comprising all the communities proposed that plot for a school.

But an unknown group broke the deity of the temple just beside the disputed land very unreasonably. Police and local administration visited the place and the local people filed a diary for that incident so far.

The Bangladesh Hindu-Bauddha-Christian Oikya Parisad has condemned the night attack on Hindu Temples in Bangladesh and wanted adequate police protection for the minority prayer venues and temples everywhere.

The most popular Benagali website, SANATON dot COM, dedicated to the propagation of Hindu Dharma, has been withdrawn from the web after facing continuous pressure, nuisance and even threat to murder to the web site moderators and the owners by the suspected Islamist groups. The site was started in Bangladesh and gradually earned a international fame among the Bengali hindu viewers and the researchers on Hindu dharma and Culture. The site was a exceptionally singularized site in its category.

Through a notice in the site, the site was stopped from 21st Feb, 2012 by the site manager.Read the source….

In an Agniveer sponsored event, 40 Christian families in Western UP reverted back to Vedic Hindu Dharma yesterday jettisoning fanatic belief that those who do not believe in some son of God would go to eternal Hell.Of these 40 families, one member from each family will receive training as Purohit from Agniveer so that they become respected Brahminsand are able to conduct religious and social rituals. Also they would be able to conduct Vedic induction ritual for others. This is our way of slapping the faces of casteism and blind evangelization.Also you would be glad to know that the person conducting the Shuddhi ritual was an ex-father of church himself and several of those who came back to religion of Ram and Krishna were Christian missionaries themselves.We are committed towards making a noble Brahmin out of every Dalit Christian.

“Our national identity is Hindutva, we are Hindus, irrespective of castes we are all inter-related by DNA. The one who believes that his ancestors are Hindus is a ‘Hindu’. There are attempts to destabilise this mindset among Indians” said Dr Subramanian Swamy.

I had the privilege to attend the conference on ‘POK and Northern Areas’ at Indian International Centre, New Delhi on the 22nd of Feb, 2012 by the Centre for Security and Strategy.It was a august gathering of the best minds on POK. Hence I was witness to the most erudite deliberations on the past, present and the future of POK vis-a-vis India.

A follow up session was held on the 23rd Feb at the ‘DeenadayalShodh Sansthan’.

When it comes to commemorating or even celebrating anniversaries, Indians are inclined to be notoriously lax. The 50th anniversary of Indian independence in 1997 was, for example, perfunctorily observed and mainly as a sarkari celebration.

Yet, and not surprisingly, the 10th anniversary of the Gujarat riots has become a media event or, to be more precise, an English-language media occasion.

VEDAS AND SANSKRIT LANGUAGE IS THRIVING IN AUSTRALIA.

More than 100 children and 50 adults participated in the Annual day and mesmerised the audience through Sanskrit skit, slokas and vedic chanting.

Bala Samskar Kendra (BSK) focuses on promoting Sanskrit language, leadership skills, Bharatiya culture, values and personality development in children of all ages. BSK in conjunction with Sydney Veda Patasala (SVP) promotes Vedas and Sanskrit. Students attend classes every Sunday and learn Sanskrit which is one of the oldest languages in the world. Lessons also focus around culture, vedic science and chantings of Sanskrit hymns.

Sydney Veda Patasala is the First Veda Pathasala operating outside Bharat. The BSK and SVP Annual Day was held on the 19th of June, 2011 at Ermington Community Centre.

Smt.Bhavana Sudarshan, MC for the day, welcomed the guests. There were three BSK and SVP groups from various parts of Sydney. The program showcased the talents of children through various performances and was well attended. An apology letter from Albert Vella, President of NSW Federation of Community Language Schools, was read out signifying the importance of language in our lives. It ended with a quoting; “To speak one language is to live one life, to speak many languages is to live many lives”

The programme started with a Sanskrit poem “Mudaakarata” (written by Adi Sankaracharya) rendered by Metella Road Sanskrit school children. It was heartening for Dr Rugmini, Smt. Jayanthi and Smt.Rohini to see their teaching effort coming to fruition when their school children performed so well.
